Probate Fast Start
He was old and clueless…and I took advantage of that. I have a 65 year old student who came to me with absolutely zero experience in real estate.Have you heard the term “wet behind the ears”? This guy wasn’t just wet, he was drenching wet. Most people think this is a problem. To be fair,
There’s a website I go to once in a while just for laughs. It’s called fml and it’s a site where people share bad things that are happening to them and then other people get to vote whether they think that person’s life sucks or if they deserved what happened to them. So this one
It was a bit of a proud parent day. My oldest daughter Christina bought our entire family tickets to go to Disneyland. She recently graduated college and though she does work she doesn’t yet have a lot of money. We all love Disney so it meant a lot to her for us all to spend
Back in early 2020, before the shut down, I went on vacation with my family to my favorite place in the whole wide world – Hawaii. I really do love Hawaii. I’ve been there a bunch of times and every time I go, I try to dig a little deeper into the local culture. The
A friend of mine is visiting me here in Los Angeles this week. He’s from a very small town in northern Wisconsin and has never been to California. So I’m showing him what big city life is all about. Yesterday we went to the beach (he’s never seen the Pacific ocean before), and as we’re driving

A while back I took my daughter, Vicky, to the DMV to take her driver’s test. Going to the DMV is not my idea of a fun afternoon and the idea of having another one of my precious children on the roads of L.A. scared the Lights out of me, but I couldn’t put off
At some point in our lives, we’ve all gotten gifts that we either didn’t want or had zero use for. To throw the gift away would be a waste. You could donate it to Good Will, but lately, it seems the more popular option is to “regift” it. To be honest, I don’t have a
Have you met the jolly old guy who rolls into town every December with the rosy cheeks and red suit? Have you ever wondered where our modern day Santa came from? There is a HUGE marketing lesson in this story. Yes, it is true that he is based on Saint Nicholas who lived in Lycia
Every family has a Christmas tradition. Some people sing Christmas carols around their neighborhood while others bake Christmas cookies. The Vargas family does things a bit different. We make tamales. And not just a few tamales. We make TONS of tamales. Why tamales for Christmas, you ask? It’s actually a California tradition. I read an
This weekend I took the family out to see the musical Hamilton at the famous Pantages Theater. Right on both sides of the street from the theater is the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. I’m sure you’ve seen this on TV before – this is where the stars have their sidewalk square with their own star
